DeniseYou know, it's ironic that cancer starts with "can", because at this stage there's nothing we can do about it.
[To Denise] I need you to connect with your patients, okay? If they need some sympathy, dig down in your soul and find some.
DeniseYo, Mr. Harris! Sucks you'll never walk again.
Hell yeah, it does!
DeniseBetter, right?
No, no, Jo. He... he lost his feet.
You can call me Sunny. My dad nicknamed me that because he said I brighten up a room. Of course, in college I had a few dark years. My car was stolen, I had three—was it three? No, four—I had four abortions.
[Denise stares at her blankly]
I'm joking!
DeniseI'm gonna kill you with a hammer.
[Sunny laughs]
DeniseWhy are you laughing?
Because I'm scared. I'm not that strong.
Derek, can you give Denise's patient a thoracentesis and get that fluid out of there?
Surgery to the rescue! [to Denise] You are welcome.
DeniseAwww, that's adorable: you have a crush on yourself. I'd be careful, the guy you're in love with is a douche.
[After smelling the air] Kiwi!
DeniseWhat?
I smell kiwi.
DeniseYeah, it's my shampoo. I love kiwis, so what?
Me too! Not really, they're hairy, they look like... monkey nuts.
DeniseDon't smell people; it's weird.
I'd just like to thank you, on behalf of all of us, for getting us pizza. [voice-over] There: smelling incident fixed!
DeniseYeah, they gave me money to do it. Along with free room and board to attend to your emotional needs. Speaking of which, little administrative thing. If you're going to kill yourself — lookin' at you, sad eyes — do it off-campus, because it is a butt-load of paperwork.
Hmmm... I should find a new mentor. Maybe a woman.
DeniseGive me my chips, you dirty bitch!
... or her.
Dr. Mahoney, I was wondering... if I could shadow you.
DeniseThis is not over, you filthy whore!
DeniseI'm sorry, white bread, I'm not really looking for a protegé slash suck-up.
Dr. Mahoney, I am not sucking up! If I were sucking up, I would tell you how much I like your shoes... which I do, by the way! They're mannish, but flirty, like, "Hey boys, come and watch me build a deck."
[The class is in detention under suspicion of cheating]
DeniseI hope it was Drew. Then he'll get his butt thrown out of here.
What did he do to you? [whispering] Did he smack you around?
DeniseWorse. He told me he loved me. Who does that? Don't you see? He's trying to get me to trust him so he can let me down.
Crazy idea: you could just say "I love you" back.
DeniseYeah, but then if it doesn't work out, I'll have to kill him, go to jail, break out, and kill you for giving me that advice.
I love how our friendship is based predominately on threats.
[Dr. Cox and Denise search the hospital, asking passerbys about Drew]
Have you seen Drew Suffin? Med student, only about 900 years old?
DeniseHey, you seen a med student? Thinks he's cooler than he is, kinda has a serial killer vibe?
Ben! I am very upset with you! You tricked me, all sweet and warm on the outside... on the inside, evil and terrible!
DeniseStop acting weird. I'm trying to eat lunch in front of a bunch of corpses.
